What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Punctuality, honesty and clear communication form the backbone of the feedback for this Bristol recovery operator. A number of customers describe him arriving exactly when promised, one within a quarter of an hour of the call and another in under an hour, after earlier attempts to find help elsewhere had dragged on. A recurring point is the fairness of the pricing, with quotes settled beforehand then charged without alteration, and one reviewer noting it was the lowest of several sought. Reviewers repeatedly mention updates on the estimated arrival time and confirmation that the vehicle had reached its destination safely.

Considerable praise goes to Omar, also written as Umar, described as polite, professional and reassuring, particularly during a late-night motorcycle collection following an accident. His patience with a young child present and his willingness to explain each stage of the process are singled out. The jobs themselves include winching a non-runner onto the truck, transporting a classic car from a lockup to a specialist and recovering a vehicle with a flat tyre, with destinations such as a local garage or tyre shop.

I needed to tow a car from Plymouth to Bristol. I was dreading the cost, but Omar gave me a very reasonable quote. He was very straightforward with his pricing and arrived exactly on time. If only every professional interaction was this easy. πŸ‘πŸΎ

Umar (Nyanzi Breakdown Recovery) is someone you can trust. He is reliable, kind, caring and super-competitively priced. I broke down in my long-wheel based camper on the M4 (in a terrible location on junction 20!) I had to call 999 ans the transport police were quickly out to me and needed me recovered fairly quickly. When my roadside recovery service were unable to recover me (long story) I reluctantly had to call around independent companies and the price that Umar quoted me was (in some cases) 1/2 of what other companies quoted me . Umar asked for a 10% deposit via bank transfer which he immediately confirmed receiving payment of and then started sharing his β€˜live location’ with me so I could see his progress . He was with me within 45 minutes . (He had also arranged a second larger vehicle to be on standby .. just incase my van was too big to get onto the vehicle he was currently using) He had my camper professionally secured on the flat bed in no time (and even used dollys so the tail plate wouldn’t snag) and recovered it safely back to Wales. I paid the remaining balance only when the vehicle was unloaded . Umar is super friendly and intent on offering you the best service . He is kind and understanding . Honestly - I cannot recommend him as an individual and histecovery services enough . 10/10

I'm not rating their service but I met one of their lorries when I was riding my horse. We were on a motorway bridge and I asked the driver to stop as my mare hadn't been over the bridge many times and I didn't want us to meet on the top. He was so lovely, he stopped, turned off his engine and waited until I was past. I thanked him profusely and he was lovely about it.

Excellent service, amazing price and a genuine business owner. Thank you so much Omah for the recovery and honesty. 5/5 also the cheapest quote by far.

My car broke just outside of work last night, I initially contacted AA but they were going to be 2 hours and I didn't have recovery. I phoned Umar and he was with me within 30 minutes, really nice guy and managed to recover my car despite it having no steering. Would recommend to anyone.

Great guy and a fantastic reliable service at an affordable price. I called for a last minute arrangement which was dealt with very professionally. There was communication from start to finish leaving no doubts in my mind. Got my car home safely would 100% recommend!
